🌼How to use note simply🌼 Don't worry too much about the number of likes / The reasons for likes are not just about evaluation / Look at whether it is reaching the 'people you want to reach' | note Log [First time on note]

When writing on note, you might find yourself worrying about the number of 'likes'.

It's nice to get a lot of likes, and when there are fewer than expected, you might wonder, 'What wasn't good about it?'

However, 'likes' are not just numbers that represent the evaluation of an article.
If the number is extremely high or low, I recommend analyzing it.

If I dare say, while you can compare your own articles with each other, there are few cases where you can compare yourself with others based on the number of likes.

I don't know if this is a good example, but the article of mine with the most likes is one unrelated to the theme, '❗️Alert❗️'.
Rather than an evaluation, it means that it was pressed because it received relatively more attention.

There is not just one reason why likes are pressed

The reasons why likes are pressed vary from person to person.

• I resonated with the content

• It was useful

• I wanted to support the author

• I liked the way of thinking

• I wanted to let the author know I read it

• I wanted to read it again later

Also, there are reasons unique to note.

• I'd be happy if I got a like back

• I want to use it as a trigger for following or interaction

• I want to expand my connections with other creators

All of these are their own ways of using it.

Therefore, if you think 'likes = evaluation of the article', you will end up worrying about things that don't necessarily need to be seen.

There is value that cannot be measured by numbers alone

Even if the number of likes is small, there are articles that change the way someone thinks or acts. There are also articles that are found later through searches and continue to be read for months.

"I'm glad I read this article."

Receiving even one comment like that can be more encouraging than many likes.

There is surprisingly a lot of value that cannot be seen in numbers.

What you want to see is, "Is it reaching the people you want to reach?"

If you are going to look at numbers, don't just look at "how many more than last time," but also,

Did this article reach the people I wanted it to reach?

If you try to have that perspective, the way you see your articles will change a little.

Even with few likes, if the person you really wanted to reach read it, that is a sufficiently meaningful article.

Of course, there are things you can learn from articles with many reactions.
So, looking at numbers itself is not bad.

However, you don't have to decide the value of an article based solely on numbers.

Likes are just one type of reader reaction.

And, isn't the value of an article expressed not only by "how many people pressed it," but also by "who it reached and what it delivered"?
